[ detailed description ] embodiments
In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantageous effects of the present invention more clearly apparent, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and the detailed description. It should be understood that the detailed description and specific examples, while indicating the preferred embodiment of the invention, are intended for purposes of illustration only and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention.
Fig. 1 is a schematic flow chart of a multi-robot automatic docking method provided in embodiment 1 of the present invention, as shown in fig. 1, including the following steps:
step 1, judging whether the robot reaches a target area in the moving process, if so, executing step 2, and if not, continuing to move;
step 2, detecting current barrier information of a target area, inquiring a preset parking strategy table of the target area, acquiring a plurality of parking positions with distances to the nearest barrier larger than a preset value, and taking the parking position with the highest score in the plurality of parking positions as an optimal parking position;
and 3, controlling the robot to move to the optimal parking position, and optimizing the optimal parking position in the moving process until the station effect corresponding to the preset parking strategy table is realized.
The embodiment provides a method for selecting corresponding parking positions of multiple robots through self-organization based on a consensus mechanism, and the method can enable the multiple robots to complete a designed station strategy in the same space and list designated queue forms on the premise of not depending on mutual communication among the robots and a centralized scheduling system, simultaneously can not increase the system cost, can not cause delay due to communication environment change, and is suitable for wide application in the field of the multiple robots.
The above examples are described in detail below.
The robot in this embodiment includes, but is not limited to, unmanned equipment, smart mobile equipment, remote sensing mobile equipment, etc., and the robot possesses various sensors, such as lidar, infrared, supersound, structured light, vision, binocular system, etc., can perceive and model surrounding obstacles, has the ability of autonomous movement and spatial localization. In order to ensure the automatic parking effect of the robot, the coordinate systems of the plurality of robots can be mutually aligned, so that the robots can be ensured to have consistent understanding on the physical positions. The coordinate system alignment method specifically comprises the following steps: before the multiple robots move to the target area, the same pre-scanned space map is used by the multiple robots; the multiple robots use the same set of positioning system, such as positioning systems based on GPS, Wifi signals, UWB and the like based on multipoint signal difference positioning; and/or multiple robots establishing a unified coordinate system for the same identifying features, such as markers with specific optical reflection parameters, objects with specific visual attributes or features, and the like, thereby aligning the coordinate system between multiple robots.
In order to achieve the preset robot parking effect, a parking policy table is also required to be established in advance, so that multiple robots follow the same set of parking policies, and the parking policy table mainly describes the tendency of the robots to park at different positions within a certain space range. The establishing of the docking policy table specifically comprises the following steps:
and S001, establishing a grid array for representing the spatial position, and for the specified spatial range, using the grid array with the size of N x M to represent the spatial position. The larger the spatial scale of the single grid representation, the lower the position accuracy and the smaller the required storage space.
And S002, associating a score value with each grid of the grid array according to a preset station effect, and establishing a preset parking strategy table, wherein the score of the grid is in direct proportion to the tendency of the robot to park at the grid, namely the score value is larger, and the score value represents that the robot tends to park at the point. Each grid of the grid array may also be scored according to a preset station effect and a preset parking attribute, such as an angle of a tilt parking at this point, and then the preset parking attribute may be stored and indexed using a two-dimensional array or a one-dimensional array of size N × M while establishing a preset parking policy table.
FIGS. 4a and 4b are graphical representations of two predetermined parking strategy tables according to a preferred embodiment, and FIG. 4a is a diagram illustrating an array parking strategy, in which the score of each lower row is smaller than that of the upper row, and the score of the left side is larger than that of the right side in the same row, so that the robot tends to park from top to bottom and from left to right in sequence; fig. 4b represents a diagonal queuing stop strategy, which can be used for queuing in an elevator scenario, with a higher score at one angular direction than at other angular directions, and with a lower score at the same angular direction, the farther away from the target point.
The preset docking policy table described above performs a fast table lookup operation when it has been pre-calculated, stored and ordered for use within each robot. When the robot receives a task, the task information includes the specified preset stop policy table information, and when the robot moves to a target point, the robot needs to find a stop position according to the preset stop policy table, which specifically includes:
1. after receiving a task, the robot navigates to move to a target point, and when the robot reaches a region near the target point, namely a preset target region, the current obstacle information of the target region is detected through a sensor;
2. then, inquiring a specified preset parking strategy table, finding out the optimal parking position with the highest score and the distance from the closest obstacle to be greater than the preset value, and recording the optimal parking position and the corresponding score
3. And then moving to the optimal parking position, continuously detecting the current barrier information in the moving process, acquiring a new optimal parking position, updating the current optimal parking position if the score of the new optimal parking position is higher than that of the current optimal parking position, controlling the robot to move to the new optimal parking position, and recording the new optimal parking position and the corresponding score.
4. In the moving process of the robot, if the current optimal parking position is detected to be unreachable or occupied by the robot in advance, the current optimal parking position is abandoned, the optimal parking position is searched again, and the robot moves to the optimal parking position.
5. After the robot reaches the current optimal stop position, the optimal stop position under the current obstacle condition is calculated again, if a new optimal stop position with a higher score value occurs, the robot continues to move to the position, and jumps to step 3, and repeats until the stop position reached by the robot is the current obstacle position with the highest score value, as shown in fig. 5a and 5b, fig. 5a is a schematic diagram of the robot station formed by multiple robots all according to the stop strategy of fig. 4a, and fig. 5b is a schematic diagram of the robot station formed by multiple robots all according to the stop strategy of fig. 4 b.
It should be understood that, the sequence numbers of the steps in the foregoing embodiments do not imply an execution sequence, and the execution sequence of each process should be determined by its function and inherent logic, and should not constitute any limitation to the implementation process of the embodiments of the present invention.
